In your previous mail you wrote:

   If the next 54 bits are always expected to be zero then the prefix should be
   declared to fe80::/64, and RFC 3513 should be corrected.
   
   Do any of the old timers have a take on this one? Jim, Keith, Tony, Brian.....
   anyone? :-)
   
=> there is a semantic problem:
 - if the question is how to distinguish link-locals using a prefix
   notation, the answer is fe80::/10.
 - if the question is what kind of link-local prefixes should be used,
   for instance in routing tables (i.e., in concrete instances), then
   the answer is fe80::/64 and in general with a zone id (aka scope id)
   constraint, i.e., fe80::/64%<link-id>.
